Instructions
- The day before you smoke, trim the fat off of the ribs. Remove any silver skin.
- Add coarse ground kosher salt, coarse black pepper, and coarse ground garlic to a bowl. Mix the spices together well. Then season the ribs with your rub. Rub it in well. Place the rib racks on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips.
- Refrigerate, uncovered overnight.
- Before smoking, remove the ribs from the fridge to the counter at least 30 minutes before smoking. Preheat and set up your smoker with wood chunks or pellets. The temperature should be 225°F (110°C).
- Place the seasoned beef ribs directly on the smoker grates, bone-side down. Arrange them with enough space between each rib to ensure proper airflow and smoke circulation. Close the smoker and let them smoke for approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the thickness of the ribs. Smoke until internal temperature is 200-210°F. You can spritz the ribs every hour or so with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water or your preferred liquid, which helps keep the ribs moist and adds flavor.
- Let the meat rest, tented with aluminum foil for at least 30 minutes.
